Rename a desk and move it to a room

A desk's name and room are easy to change at any time. You can do it from the desk itself, or from All desks when you want to tidy several at once.

Rename the desk you are on

1. Click the desk's name in the header. The desk menu opens.
2. Under This desk, click Rename.
3. Type the new name.
4. Press Enter to keep it, or Esc to leave the old name.

If you change your mind afterwards, you can undo the rename. See Undo and redo.

Rename a desk from All desks

1. In the side menu, under Rooms, click All desks.
2. Point at the desk and click the pencil, or right-click it and choose Rename desk.
3. Change the name under Desk name and click Rename.

Move the desk you are on into a room

1. Click the desk's name in the header.
2. Click Move to a room…. Your rooms are listed, and the room the desk is in now has a tick.
3. Click the room you want. The desk moves there.

The list shows your rooms at the top level that are not archived. If you have no rooms yet, it says so, and New room from this desk makes one for you.

Make a new room for this desk

In the same list, click New room from this desk. PlexiDesk creates a room called "New Room" and moves the desk into it in one step. To rename the room, see Create and organise rooms. On the Free plan, this counts towards your three rooms.

Move several desks at once

1. Open All desks, in Gallery, List or Table view.
2. Click Select.
3. Click each desk you want to move, or click Select all.
4. Click Move to room….
5. Choose a room, or Top level to take the desks out of any room.
6. Click Done to stop selecting.

Shared desks are not moved and stay where they are.

Take a desk out of its room

Use Move to room… in All desks, as above, and choose Top level. The desk then appears under Top level in lists and on the Home Rooms and desks widget.

Everything you can do with a desk in All desks

Point at a desk in Gallery or List view to see a row of small icons; rest the pointer on one to see what it does. Right-click a desk in any view for the full list with names.
